The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 23:44-49

The death of Jesus: v. 44. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. v. 45. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the Temple was rent in the midst. v. 46. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit; and having said thus, He gave up the ghost. v. 47. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous Man. v. 48. And all the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 23:47-56

Faith from, Unexpected Quarters Luke 23:47-56 God has His agents everywhere. They are not known to us, but are well known to Him, and one word from Him will bring them and their resources to His help. How many are unsuspected lovers of His Kingdom! Who would have thought that Joseph was waiting for the kingdom of God, or that he would have identified its advent with the death on the cross! The body of our Lord was well cared for. They who commit themselves to God will find that He will make... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:1-56

This is the story of the Cross, and, as in dealing with other Gospels, it is best read in reverent quietness and meditation. We see all the forces of evil as represented in the Jewish priests and in Pilate joining hands to secure the murder of Jesus. Dr. Maclaren has remarked that there is something impressive in the unbroken continuity of the clauses in this paragraph which follow one another, linked by a simple 'and,' like the waves of the Dead Sea which roll heavily in dreary succession. It... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:1-56

Jesus Is Crucified And Rises Again (22:1-24:53). We now come to the final Section of Luke which is also in the form of a chiasmus (see analysis below). Central in this final chiasmus is the crucifixion of Jesus. This brings out how central the crucifixion is in the thinking of Luke. As the Servant of the Lord He is to be numbered among the transgressors for their sakes (Luke 22:37). This is indeed what the Gospel has been leading up to, something that is further demonstrated by the space given... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:44-49

The Final Hours (23:44-49). It was now half way through the day, and for Jesus the worst was yet to come. For now He entered into such an experience as was to tear at His very soul. But Luke passes it over in silence and we have to go to Matthew and Mark to learn briefly and dimly of what He experienced (Mark 15:34), although even then it is only revealed by a cry. All are dumb in the face of something that none can understand. Indeed we should note how the Gospels limit their descriptions so... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:49

‘And all his acquaintance, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.’ In what contrast were the crowds with His disciples and the women who followed Him. They too had stood afar off seeing these things. They were probably afraid to come too close in case they were arrested. But the way this is expressed suggests that they would continue to remember it. They saw these things. The cutting short of the sentence without an explanatory final clause such... read more

Luke 23:44-Ephesians : . The Death of Jesus ( Mark 15:33-: *, Matthew 27:45-Titus : *). Luke 23:45 . the sun’ s light failing: the words do not necessarily imply an eclipse. The rending of the Temple veil is earlier than in Mk. Luke 23:46 . Instead of the cry, “ Eloi, eloi,” etc., we have “ Father, into thy hands,” etc., which is also from the Psalms ( Psalms 31:5). Luke 23:47 . The centurion’ s words are given in such a form as to confirm the Roman opinion of Jesus’ innocence. His... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 23:47-49

For a perfect knowledge of all those things which did happen after our Saviour’s nailing to the cross, till he died, and was taken down to be buried, all the evangelists must be consulted. We have made a collection of them in our notes on Matthew 27:51-56, to which the reader is here referred. See Poole on "Matthew 27:51", and following verses to Matthew 27:56. This passage about the centurion is taken notice of both by Matthew and Mark; only they say he said, Truly this was the Son of God.... read more
